- Tap card* on card reader when boarding, exiting, or transferring between UTA bus, TRAX, FrontRunner, Ski Bus, and S-Line streetcar services. When transferring between TRAX lines (e.g. Blue Line to Red Line), only tap card at first and last stations. Card readers are located inside buses near doors and at UTA rail stations.

- Use card for fare payment only after activation and when card reader has given green light. If card reader gives red light, card is not valid for fare payment and another form of payment is required.
- Present card to UTA police when asked to present proof of fare.
